17 October 2016, Rome--- The UN’s Food and Agriculture Organization has just released its latest report on the State of Food and Agriculture for 2016. Based on the latest figures, the Organization is calling for sweeping action to be taken now in order to ward off the risk of future food insecurity in the world. Agriculture, including forestry, fisheries and livestock, generate around a fifth of the world’s greenhouse gas emissions. According to the report climate change will expose both urban and rural poor to higher and more volatile food prices. It will also affect food availability by reducing the productivity of crops, livestock and fisheries, and hinder access to food by disrupting the livelihoods of millions of rural people who depend on agriculture for their incomes.
